For the second straight day, the United States squad opened the competition with unanimous decision victories. White and Gonzalez both recorded their second straight victories over Ukrainian opponents. White defeated Vladislav Zarachnij to move on to the pinweight finale, and Gonzalez claimed the second spot in the championship round with a win over Nikolaj Bojko.

Stevenson won his second bout of the event as well, taking a 3-0 decision over Ukraine’s Jaroslav Pishek in light bantamweight action to advance to the tournament finals. Adric faced a Polish foe in his semifinal round contest and he punched his ticket for the championship bout with a 3-0 victory over Eric Jermak of Poland.

Tiatia was the final U.S. boxer to take the ring in Ukraine and he certainly left an impression. He stopped home nation boxer Vladimir Komornij in the second round with a body shot to claim the final spot in the finals for his U.S. squad.
